  1. For many of us, photo hosting goes beyond what we would use and/or share here. I have thousands of photos, and a few family or personal photos that I do not plan to share here. We still need a place to host them. Unless this board has a photo hosting capacity for private photos that I am not aware of?
  2. Wagon Rod needs a pie cut out of the middle, above the fender. Lower the front.
  3. I have had nothing but problems with Photobucket for years now. I hate them. But I have way too many photos there to transfer everything. Besides, the site responds so sllooowww, it would take forever.
  4. Maybe if you post a photo of the wheel?
  5. I see two tone Ma. State Police blue. Like a blue brick. Your work is amazing!
  6. Those may have to do. I will look for that Corvette. In fact, many Corvette kits may have something.
  7. I need some wheels that are similar to the "Pumper" wheel design of the late 80's- early 90's Shelby. I want to build what was our car. Found this pic on the intertubes. Doesn't have to be exact; I may have to settle for a five point wide spoke wheel. Know of any?
  8. BTW, if anyone thinks there is no other version that Revell can use after the "Foose" licensing expires, I think you shouldn't put money on that. The next version could be a "generic" custom. Possibly with different wheels/tires, and decals I have to believe they desire a second version, tho I have no way of knowing for sure. Is there any examples of other models, second + version altered from first? My CRS is preventing me from citing examples.
  9. What he said. When it's stock, everyone wants a custom. When it's custom, everyone wants a stock. LoL!
  10. Oww! Correct you are! Incorrect is I
  11. Fun topic; the Foose FD-100 that is. Even the guy at the area's biggest hobby shop, who had the kit opened next to the counter (somebody still does that!), was griping that none of it was "right". Why do some people not grasp that this is a custom truck? As in "not stock"? The whole beauty of Foose Designs, is the subtle modifications. Knowing that something looks different, but often not quite able to tell what that difference is. That, IMHO, is what makes a great custom.
  12. As you should do better with a 40% off coupon! Buying at a show is, for all intensive purposes, a one time event. Under $25. at a hobby shop everyday price is about the going rate. Point is, that is a good price. Anyone buying for less, you got a great price. It won't get any lower in a hobby shop, barring any sales or coupons.
  13. Just bought mine @ $24.99 Can't imagine at todays going model kit prices, you will ever see it any less than that.
  14. I just bought a packet of six decal papers from Testors. Pull out the instructions and they're in every language but English. What do I have to know to use this paper? I bought a 6 pack of white paper.
  15. Well, I can't delete my previous post (?) Sorry for posting something already posted.
  16. The car you shown is called the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo. One of the most beautiful modern supercar designs; guaranteed to make jaws drop!
  17. Oh, a '58 Fairlane would be so nice!
  18. Also built it long ago. Great street rod. Plastic was fine, at least to me. Only thing I remember was kit is weak as far as positive part locators. I want to buy the sedan delivery version if I ever find the reissue. Old pic, not very good.
  19. That is just so kewl! Not enough superlatives to describe it!
  20. I really like it! And the color, when I see a "plain Jane" late 60's / early 70's Chevy, that's the color!
  21. I have seen a mock up video of the Foose FD-100. Molded in white plastic. And it looks so good!
  22. Perhaps if you delved into some actual research, you would think otherwise. Following is part of the Snopes write up in Wikipedia: Accuracy[edit]Jan Harold Brunvand, a folklorist who has written a number of books on urban legends and modern folklore, considered the site so comprehensive in 2004 that he decided to not launch one of his own.[11] David Mikkelson, the creator of the site, has said that the site receives more complaints of liberal bias than conservative bias, but insists that the same debunking standards are applied to all political urban legends.[22] In 2012, FactCheck.org reviewed a sample of Snopes' responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases. FactCheck noted that Barbara Mikkelson was a Canadian citizen (and thus unable to vote in US elections) and David Mikkelson was an independent who was once registered as a Republican. "You'd be hard-pressed to find two more apolitical people," David Mikkelson told them.[22][23] In 2012, The Florida Times-Union reported that About.com's urban legends researcher found a "consistent effort to provide even-handed analyses" and that Snopes' cited sources and numerous reputable analyses of its content confirm its accuracy.[24] Critics of the site have falsely asserted that it is funded by George Soros, or linked sites, but all of Snopes’s revenue is from advertising on the site.[2] The New York Times has stated: All of Snopes’s revenue — Mr. Mikkelson says he doesn’t know what it is — come from ads. Facebook is not paying for its services. Nor is the billionaire George Soros funding the site, although that is sometimes asserted in anti-Snopes stories.
  23. So much for "not buying any more kits".
